ROBERT SMITH
GIVES $20,000
Robert and Lilly Smith
A gift of $10,000 from Robert L.
Smith, Carlsbad, New Mexico, has been
designated for construction of the
Lilly Smith Study Wing in CBC's Annie
Gabriel Library. The wing will be a
memorial tribute to the late Mrs. Robert L. Smith.
In addition to the amount for the
library, Smith has set up a scholarship fund of $10,000. Interest from the
fund will help provide student scholarships for twenty years. After that
time the principal sum will revert to
the college.
Smith, a retired contractor, has
had a long-time association with California Baptist College. He was a member of First Baptist Church of El
Monte when the college was begun
there 21 years ago, and he and Mrs.
Smith were active supporters during
those early days. According to Sibyl
Brown, librarian, "When the library
needed shelves for library books, he
built them; when thete were problems
because we at the college did not
always remember to clear Sunday
School rooms of our activities, Smith
would point out the investment which
the church was making in young lives
through the shating of the church
plant.
"Mrs. Smith was a teacher in El
Monte when the college was meeting
there, and several of the children of
faculty and students were her pupils.
She also spent long hours cooking and
serving meals to the workers who
helped to adjust the facilities to the
needs of the young college."
Completion of the wing will add
6000 additional square feet of study
and shelf room for finishing the basement for storage and workroom areas.
Portions of the wing will be used for
technical processes, offices, staff
kitchen, lounge and committee room,
and work areas for typists and researchers as well as carrels or areas
for students who need to consult inactive materials.
The study area will bring total
seating capacity of the library to the
required number of available reading
spaces for a college enrollment of 725
students.
Plans are to complete the Lilly
Smith Study Wing before September 1,
1971.
